Good morning! How are we faithing? It's been a good July for the Allen clan. Busy as a bee hive but good. Family, God, events and good company. Makes me look back at The Waltons TV show and understand the dynamics. How are you all doing? Do you have a sense of family? Are you healthily functional at the same time sprinkled with a little dysfunction? No family is perfect and in this family of God it applies also. The thing we have to not do is argue amongst ourselves over dogma that may or may not matter. Oh we can have discussions over details as a learning exercise but never in a judgmental way. We must compare our opinions to the Word. I have had people tell me, "that's just how I feel" and they can't back it up with any premise in the Word. Be careful people. Heresy begins there. The statements that I hear after a loved one has passed like,"God now has another angel" makes my head explode. That is simply not true. Angels are totally different beings. God now has a person to commune with and to talk to forever and that is way better. Don't let emotion, sentiment or feelings distort truth. Look at this;
Rom 8:38-39
For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Did you see that? Listed within is Angels so that being the case, if we are saved by Jesus, we do not become angels. Point to this is to be careful what you believe and what you repeat. Be careful what you disseminate, we don't want people led astray and miss salvation through Jesus!
remember Johns Mom, remember Kelly's Dad...remember those traveling...remember those at a crossroad in their life that they choose life over death...remember Tony...remember Troy...
Heavenly Father,
Thank you for your love that saves a wretch like me. help me to see truth and to show you in all I do. Make me your instrument of light. Forgive our jealousy, our pride. Help us be strong in your Word so we live it daily. Touch those mentioned in Jesus name, amen.
